THE: COMPULSION BILL

THE OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

January 6, 5.30 alin.

The morning papers generally admit that Mr. Asquith made out a case for compulsion of single men

nothing more.

M

The Times says the Bill fulfils Mr. Asquith's pledge and The Daily Max says the speech has satisfied unprejudiced critics.

The Daily Chronicle states: If compulsion is to be introduced it could hardly be introduced more unobjectionably.

These represent the spirit of the comments of all the other papers with the exception of the Daily News which think a general election in a few weeks is probable.

He bad hoped Mr. J. M. Forbes the war might be finished with voluntaryism which had done so Mr. W. G. Lay..... well. He did not consider the present change darogatory to the MW.G.
